A video purportedly showing a TV presenter trying to teach a Teessider the ‘correct’ way to speak has had more than two million views.

But the footage has been criticised by many people across the country who’ve watched it.

The clip features someone claiming to be a Damon Green for ITV News trying to show the man - whose identity is unknown - to say ‘butter’ and ‘tomorrow’ in standard English just outside The Cleveland Centre, in Middlesbrough’s Linthorpe Road.

The interviewee disagrees with him missing out the ‘t’ in butter in signature Teesside style - and pronouncing ‘tomorrow’ as ‘tomarra’.

When the man eventually says butter in standard English the presenter says: “That’s it!” and signs off his clip saying “standard English on the streets of Teesside - together we can do this.”
